    The really is the best potato soup ever recipe! You can have dinner ready and served in 20 minutes! A family-favorite. 

    The really is the best potato soup ever recipe! You can have dinner ready and served in 20 minutes! A family-favorite.

    During the winter our family absolutely loves comfort food, which includes soup and stews. We cannot get enough of them! A couple of times a month, we love to enjoy potato soup and I have finally perfected it, so it really is the best potato soup ever. We will be making it this way from now on because it really is that great.

    Did I mention how easy and quick this soup can be made? It only takes a few minutes for the prep work and it's ready in just 20 minutes from start to finish. Oh, how I love those kind of recipes - simple, quick, and delicious.

    The really is the best potato soup ever recipe! You can have dinner ready and served in 20 minutes! A family-favorite.

    If you prefer to have it cook slow, you can always add everything to your slow cooker and allow it to cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours. Such a versatile recipe.

    There is one thing in this recipe that you do not want to leave out - it's the bacon grease. It might not be the healthiest, but it adds so much flavor. You can add all of it or just a little until it suits your taste.

      I made this tonight-eating now. Lol. I used one cup of chicken broth, added 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 c of sour cream, 1 stalk of celery, used red onion, used 1 cup of ham, some of the ham jelly-let it all cook together. Very flavorful! Thanks for dinner!

      Delicious! Had a serious craving for some potato soup but no patience for my crockpot, and this recipe was PERFECT. Went back for seconds and plenty for left overs.

      This soup is so easy and I tend to have all the ingredients on hand. It tasted too milky to me at first so I threw a handful of shredded cheese in it and added three cheese tortellini! MMMMMMMM!

      Great recipe! I added a spoon of chicken bouillon paste and about a teaspoon of smoked paprika for a little more depth. Nom nom
